Vans are nightmare stuff for motorcyclists. Hitting a compact car from most angles means rolling over it. Hitting a van from any angle is instant SPLAT - all potential energy gets instantly converted into damage.
We don't have SUVs here (Eastern Europe), but I think they're a closer to vans than to compacts.
